Lim Hyun-gyu
Lim Hyun-Gyu (born January 16, 1985), often anglicized to Hyun Gyu Lim, is a South Korean mixed martial artist, who formerly competed in the UFC Welterweight division.
He first experienced martial arts when he was 13 years old training in Boxing, and started training in Taekwondo in his midteens. But these trainings were just as hobbies. So later he felt eagerness to pursue martial arts as a professional. After finishing a mandatory military service in his country, he was scouted by the head coach of his current team while training in his boxing gym. After only three months scouted, Lim made his professional MMA debut in February 2006 in the Spirit MC promotion in his native South Korea. Over the next few years, he also fought for the Heat, DEEP, M-1 Global and Pacific Xtreme Combat promotions. After beating Ryan Biglar at the PXC 32 event in July 2012, he became the PXC welterweight champion.
In August 2012, the UFC announced that they had signed Lim. Lim was originally set to make his UFC debut against Marcelo Guimarães on November 10, 2012, at UFC on Fuel TV 6. However, Guimarães was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by David Mitchell. Then, just prior to the weigh in for the event, the bout was scrapped after Lim was declared medically unfit to compete by UFC doctors.
Lim vs. Guimarães was then rescheduled for March 3, 2013, at UFC on Fuel TV 8. Lim was successful in his debut, winning via KO in the second round.
Lim faced Pascal Krauss on August 31, 2013, at UFC 164. He defeated Krauss by KO with a knee and follow up punches in the first round. The win also earned Lim his first Fight of the Night bonus award.
Lim was expected to face Kiichi Kunimoto on January 4, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 34. However, in late November, event headliner Jake Ellenberger pulled out of the event citing an injury and Lim stepped up to face Tarec Saffiedine in the main event. He lost the fight via unanimous decision. Despite the loss on the scorecards, the bout brought Lim his second consecutive Fight of the Night bonus award.
Lim next faced Takenori Sato on September 20, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 52. He won the fight via TKO in the first round.
Lim faced Neil Magny on May 16, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 66. He lost the fight via TKO in the second round.
